We have booked 2 luxury lodges each sleeping 6 people (1 double and 2 twin beds) and each lodge also has a hot tub on the deck. The park has a range of facilities that include indoor heated swimming pool (free to use) and health club that has sauna, steam room and beauty treatments (extra charges apply). There is also a bar and restaurant on site. A Go Active resort there are a range of activities we can try, perhaps fencing or archery might be fun. As with our other luxury weekends I will be bringing a selection of films if people want a DVD night and the Nintendo Wii.

The location of this resort is ideal to explore two excellent but very different walking areas. Dartmoor National Park is just to the West and one of the days we will explore the East of the park with a 7.5 mile walk that includes Haytor Rocks and Hound Tor. On the other day we will head towards the coast for some stunning Devon coastal scenery with a 7.5 mile route from Torquay to Brixham which includes a number of great sandy beaches and coves as well as the holiday town of Paignton and the fishing town of Brixham. Brixham also has a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship The Golden Hind (Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon). Since this is a linear walk we will leave the cars at the end point and catch a bus to Torquay to start the walk.

What people say about us

Enjoyable for everyone!The LAG is unique in that founder Gary knows so many sublime walks and has formidable experience in organising hikes at all levels of difficulty over many years, yet treats fellow walkers like grown ups, making it so much more enjoyable for everyone, whether new to this friendly group or an old LAG like me, returning for more fun and the challenges of new adventures in the great outdoors.

Friendly and fantastically organisedHave been away a few times with Gary and LAG and have enjoyed every moment. The groups are always friendly and fantastically organised. The walks are very well planned out and take into account of the abilities of the group. There is always a balance between old and new faces which keeps the group fun and always great to meet and make new friends.
